New and emerging threats, technology advancements and the advent of thernKnowledge Age are driving change in Armed Forces around the world. The Singapore ArmedrnForces is in the midst of transformation into the 3rd Generation SAF to meet these challenges.rnAs military systems morph into increasing networked and interdependent system of systems, thernDefence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has also adopted strategies and put in systemsrnengineering efforts to manage the interoperability requirements and complexities of this systemrnof systems. In 2006 DSTA adopted Enterprise Architecture (EA) to facilitate business-rnInformation Technology (IT) alignment and subsequently established a Reference ArchitecturernFramework to ensure interoperability across systems. In this article, we describe the ReferencernArchitecture Framework, the linkage between EA and the Framework, and how the frameworkrnwill guide the development of the solution blueprint to enable 3rd Generation SAFrntransformations.
